Lingenfelter ports and polishes TBs.

I noticed a smoother idle after installing mine.

I've got a Shaner ported TB (pm me for details). I've bought about 3 from him for different vehicles, they've always worked flawlessly, have to watch who you buy ported TB's from, I've used some that cause the engine to surge and buck, like a bull.

But I like it, don't expect a ton of performance gains, but seams like the throttle response is a little more crisp with it, and the new trucks can use all the help it can get with the throttle.

Did mine myself, and its more crisp response and barely if any of that annoying lunginess there anymore.

buy a 90mm TB then have it ported you'll notice a lil better pull on the mid-high rpms

on a stock throttle body you will feel in the midrange power not too much in the lower rpm
